The Giants never should’ve rehired Bill Rigney, that was a disaster.
Horace Stoneham nearly ruined that franchise; if it wasn’t for Chub Feeney, the Giants would be in Toronto.
Keith Hernandez was a better ballplayer that I thought. And i thought he was a great player.
Vern Rapp, what a … . If Buck Showalter was corrupted by the Force and became a tool of the Empire, on his worst day, he would not be as bad as Rapp.
The Cards were/are a first class organization. Amazing what they did for their players, something we would take for granted now.
Did I say Vern Rapp was a tool?
